Happy birthday Jim Lovell! (Credit to the owners)
Happy Shaky Day! Capt. James Arthur Lovell, Jr., born March 25, 1928, turns 92 years old today! Jim was a naval aviator and NASA astronaut who flew in space four times, the first human in history to do so. He’s also an all-around great guy and still going strong! Happy birthday, Jimbo!

Jim Lovell & Frank Borman in TO THE MOON
Jim Lovell: “Just to be confined in there like a sardine in a can, that was a real trial. And, of course, you’re sitting right next to your companion, and for two weeks, being with Frank Borman… Two weeks being with Frank Borman any place was a real challenge. *laughs*”
Lovell: “Frank had a book called ‘Roughing it’ which we tried to read. We also sang to each other.”
Frank Borman: “Nat King Cole, at that time, had a very popular song: ‘Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone’.”
Lovell: “*singing* Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone, let’s pretend that you and I are all alone.”
Borman: “That got on our minds and we sang that damn song for two weeks. *laughs*”
Lovell, laughing: “We still sing it, occasionally.”
Happy 91st birthday to the one and only Capt. James Arthur Lovell Jr!!!
